I went through the idea of having the leg removed and was told by Noel Fitzpatrick (the super vet ) that an otherwise fit and healthy running dog with three legs is literarily on borrowed time unless it’s kept in a lead permanently due to the immense force it will be putting on the opposite leg from the removed one which will result in a catastrophic injury to that leg. what sort of miserable life is that for a running dog. you did the right thing the butch is at peace and out of pain. How it goes sometimes what more can.u say bruh 1 Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,536 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I've had about a dozen PTS for various reasons over the last 40 odd years. It doesn't get easier. Or cheaper Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post
